Our Commitment

Every Jew deserves the chance to live with dignity and thrive Jewishly, connected to Jewish culture and community. That's what we do.

We help the world's neediest Jews. We empower all Israelis to be part of their country's success. We build Jewish life and leaders. And we use Jewish values to guide our response to global emergencies, like natural disasters and public health crises.

Wherever a Jew is in need, we are there, working in 70 countries, impacting lives from Moldova to Mumbai.
